From an early age, I knew I wanted to do art.
Art engulfed my mind from the second I picked up a pencil. When I saw that someone so ordinary as myself could create something so extraordinarily individual, my mind became infatuated with the idea of devoting my life to this. With the support of some of the most influential people in my life, I spent years refining my comprehension of color, design, and the craft itself. I dedicated significant amounts of time, often weeks on end, to perfecting the details, whether it be rendering out pieces of stubble or refining the last wrinkle of cloth. The entire process was rewarding. Even though it (usually!) took ages from start to finish, nothing compares to the feeling of a completed project, even now. It is an unexplainable euphoria that I hope can steer me towards greatness in life, perhaps even in the paths of some of the industry's biggest creative giants: Disney, Marvel, Pixar, etc. It would be a dream come true to be able to utilize my talents for more than just, for lack of a better word, a hobby. |
